what! a new video so soon!?

this is maybe one of my most impulsive videos, i got the idea a month ago and instantly thought "damn i should make that" and it ended up being the fastest turnaround for any video i've made.

it's about how games are depicted in movies & TV, a mixture of inaccurate examples with eerily real ones, from a pool of suggestions from people i asked across bluesky & discord as well as my own memory. this was meant to be a goofy one, but it turned out to be just as dear to my heart as all my videos are and one movie in particular gave it a whole new framework.

also, there's a guest appearance from zarithya! i told her about this video and since she has a gamesphere i figured i'd ask her to contribute a little something.

please enjoy the video!!
